Of course.
And I never said there was an “official” PPA. I said there was “a PPA.” That was quite clear, and, this unofficial PPA is quite useful for people unable/unwilling to run 64-bit Linux.
And of course, it’s a great pity there’s no “official” 32-bit version from Atom/GitHub.
But that’s one of the things wrong with Atom, and a topic for another time

Yes, you said there was “a PPA” which leaves unspecified its official or unofficial nature. Which is why I felt the need to specify it so that there was no question in others’ minds who might happen upon this topic days, weeks or months later.

I didn’t say it to be snarky. There has been some confusion in the past, so I put little notes like this in place to try to help prevent it.
